La Liga: Barcelona - Cordoba

by BarrileteCosmico Sat Dec 20, 2014 11:25 pm

Masche's 200th Barca match
Cordoba are one of only 4 out of 36 la liga teams Messi has never scored against (I think this is the first time he's playing them, but I might be mistaken)

Mehdro has opened the score at the 2nd minute with an assist from Raki-never-assists

Barca's attitude could be described as a stroll in the park for the past 20 minutes. No rush to get the 2nd goal.

Y'all better give Pedro credit, he's been your best player by a distance.

I was about to say "Who is this imposter and what have they done with Mehdro?" but you guys beat me to it.

Iniesta also one of the most active games I've seen of him this season.

Rakitic an assist and an almost "EPL Screamer!!" -like goal that hit the post.

yea was a good hit, woulda been awesome goal

3rd long shot (Pedro, Rakitic, now Xavi). Is LE instructing players to shoot outside the box more now or is it player initiative?

Pique makes it 3-0! I think he has scored more headers this season than in his entire previous career Laughing

He also had a fantastic sliding tackle in the box as well.

4-0 Messi Proud

Messi

What a control! And 2nd goal with his right as well. He might actually have more goals with his right than his left this season Laughing

That first touch Shocked

Missed the first half but looked like a boring match in cruise control in the 2nd.

tbh the first 3 goals was from terrible defending. The Messi corner was a decent attempt other then them putting it on Messi foot, but the last goal was pure class.

Considering Cordoda conceded only 2 goals in their last 4 games and have a 1-2-1 result coming here, I will keep myself deluded by saying we forced them to defend like that Smile
